Bayern Munich could look to make a transfer move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips later on in the summer window.
Recently, it was reported that Kyle Walker had verbally agreed to join the German club this summer, having apparently been in talks with them since the end of last season.
Now though, the Bundesliga side have another City player in their sights.
Bayern planning late Phillips move
Written in a recent Substack column for Caught Offside, journalist Christian Falk claimed that Bayern have spoken about Phillips as a potential transfer target.
However, they feel that it could be better to make a move for him later in the window if the player comes to the conclusion that he isn’t likely to play regularly at City and may fancy a move away.
The 27-year-old only joined the Manchester club last summer from Leeds United in a deal worth a reported fee of £45m but didn’t end up having a particularly impressive debut season.
Even though he ended up winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, the Englishman only started four of the 21 games he featured in across all competitions.
This could be why Bayern may think they’d be in with a chance of signing him if he feels that regular game time isn’t likely to be coming his way next season.
Not long ago, the midfielder shared his ambition of staying at City and fighting for a regular spot in Pep Guardiola’s side, which could make Bayern’s potential efforts to lure him to Germany rather pointless.
